Kris Allen Poses With A Pooch On His ‘Thank You Camellia’ Album Cover

Is it 2009 all over again? American Idol‘s Top 2 guys from Season 8 are both releasing their sophomore efforts this year — Adam Lambert’s Trespassing will be released May 15, while Idol champ Kris Allen is back with Thank You Camellia. We’re not sure who Camellia is (could it be that super cute French bulldog by his side?) or why Kris is thanking her, but we’re hoping to have it figured out when his major label sophomore LP (which includes lead single “The Vision Of Love”) drops May 22.
